The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

An exerpt from the website retroQueer:
A short story by Annie Proulx extrapolated into a two hour Ang Lee epic is an immense achievement. The film is absorbing from beginning to end and it is a credit to the screenplay writers for maintaining the audience for this length. The story is simple enough: a story of the forbidden love between two cowboys that begins oh so carnally, progresses into a lot of confused adoration and affection, and then of course it ends in tragedy – okay, maybe it really isn’t a simple story. But the mise-en-scene and cinematography kept me visually occupied: the spectacular mountain ranges of the Wyoming-esque Alberta, the herds of thousands of sheep on the mossy green mountainside pastures, the trickle of the streams beside a naked Gyllenhall, the physical insignificance of two men set against this amazing backdrop. I spent most of the film with my mouth open in awe (which probably explains my cold the next day, infected undeniably by the coughing leather queen seated next to me).

After Jack's outburst at Thanksgiving dinner, L. D. decided to swallow his pride and remain seated.
Fran:
"Lee has taken a story of gay love and placed it where it should be -- in the mainstream. He's delivered a beautifully crafted film to boot."

Ennis' and Jack's life as gay men in rural Wyoming showed a conciderable lack of comfort and wellbeing.
